Protected at every tap: how NFC keeps your payments safe

Most people are familiar with traditional payment methods like swiping cards, entering PINs, and handling cash. But what if you embraced a smarter, faster way? NFC technology makes payments faster and easier. Just tap your phone or smartwatch to pay instantly using your digitised bank card in MCB Juice.

💰Benefits of NFC Payments

✅ Speed and Efficiency: Transactions are completed in seconds, reducing wait times and boosting customer satisfaction.

✅ Contactless: Eliminate the need to touch cash, buttons, or terminals, making transactions safer.

✅ Convenient: You don’t need to carry cash or cards, just unlock your device and Tap.

💡 Pro Tip: Before paying, check that NFC is enabled on your device (Settings → Connections → NFC)

🔒Why NFC Payment is secured ?

✅ End-to-end encryption means that MCB Juice operates in a secure environment certified by Norton Secured and uses multi-factor authentication, including biometric login (fingerprint or Face ID) and mPIN protection. Sensitive data (like payment credentials) is encrypted on the device’s Secure Element (or via tokenization) and can only be decrypted by the backend/issuer. 

✅Tokenization: Instead of transmitting your real card number, a unique token is used for each transaction.

✅ Encryption: Data exchanged between your device and the payment terminal is encrypted.

✅ Biometrics Authentication: Most wallets require biometric or passcode verification before payment.

✅ Limited Range: NFC works only within a few centimeters, reducing the risk of remote interception.

📌 Final takeaway

NFC payments are designed to make everyday transactions faster and more secure, but good habits still matter.

✔️ Always keep your phone or smartwatch locked when not in use.
✔️ Enable biometric authentication for extra protection.
✔️ Turn on NFC only when needed to avoid accidental taps.
✔️ Monitor your transaction history regularly in the MCB Juice app.
